Abstract
Telework was initially introduced as an emergency- and evacuation-based measure due to the spread of COVID-19. However, since it is no longer necessary to restrict the movement of people or avoid on-site work, there has been a shift from such teleworking back to the conventional commuting style, mainly among small and medium-sized enterprises. Meanwhile, some companies have viewed telework as a way of working that improves the well-being of their employees and are taking novel measures, such as making telework a regular work style. At present, there is a mixture of conflicting trends regarding telework. Given such circumstances, this special feature views telework as one of the sustainable working styles of the future. This feature includes five papers that examine the efforts made toward establishing such a style and the issues that have emerged as a result, especially those relating to the ideal form of health management, labor management, and legal policy, from various perspectives.
